During this episode we talked to Josh Drean about many changes we're living through in 2023 - from experimentation with generative AI, to economic volatility, to power dynamic change during the "summer of strikes" and so on - all driving organizations to rethink the employee experience design but still falling short of what individuals want from work - living wages, flexibility, autonomy, agency and fulfillment.

The guest of this episode was @FilipV, a contributor of Juicebox DAO (and a few more). During the episode we dive into the topic of DAOs  (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). DAOs provide a loose structure by enabling a community of contributors with a passion for solving a specific problem. Such an environment is suited for individuals who are comfortable with self-management, transparency, and autonomy. We examine specific characteristics of DAOs such as democratic power distribution, collective decision making, incentives structure, role of honesty, identity and reputation and many other things that “traditional” work environments might not necessarily provide. We discuss the technicalities of working in DAO, the ways of getting paid, and the traits and personalities of individuals who are drawn to such environments.

Guest bio: FilipV is a cryptocurrency and blockchain specialist with experience from decentralized autonomous organizations, startups, and corporations alike: his primary domains of expertise include governance, decentralized (and traditional) finance, operations, tooling, documentation, and programming.

In this episode, we deep dive with David Josephs, the Head of Blockchain at Parcl, on what a blockchain is, how smart contracts work and how this technology will impact organizations. We explore how the technology underlying Web3 is very different from the Web2 world and will offer many new possibilities for organizations to operate. To chat with David, drop him a line on twitter: @DavidJosephs18

Note: David Josephs and Donna Scarola work together at Parcl but their ideas and thoughts on the episode are not reflective of Parcl, but their own independent views.
